Form & Verdict

Won last winter on first two hurdle starts (2m, good/soft) and, bar a bad mistake at the final fence, she jumped well when winning a novice handicap at Kempton (2m2f, good) on her recent chase debut; benefits from the valuable 4yo allowance and could be in the mix for leading trainer.

Free-going sort; fairly useful form over fences but without winning and the latest of her eight attempts was last November, before the return to hurdling next time yielded a 10l win; not so good afterwards and had wind surgery in August; best results at about 2m; amateur rider is recruited; some of the better form but also a fair bit to prove.
